Sittenfeld, Curtis

Curtis Sittenfeld is the author of the international bestsellers “Prep,” “The Man of My Dreams” and “American Wife,” now available in paperback.

“Prep” was chosen by the New York Times Book Review as one of the top 10 books of 2005, nominated for the U.K.’s Orange Prize and optioned by Paramount Pictures. “Man of My Dreams” was praised by the Washington Post as “intelligent and insightful,” and the Miami Herald said Sittenfeld writes “pure, elegant prose; true, perfect dialogue; and emotion so searing it might leave a scar.”

Her fiction has also been published in the collection “This Is Not Chick Lit.”

Her non-fiction has appeared in the New York Times, the Atlantic, Salon, Glamour and on public radio’s “This American Life.”

Sittenfeld lives in St. Louis. Visit her online at www.curtissittenfeld.com.
